Description
Silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) technology displaced photomultiplier tubes in the design of next-generation experiments in particle physics. This presentation will focus on astroparticle physics experiments that will use liquid argon or liquid xenon with SiPM photo-detectors for rare-event searches such as dark matter, neutrinoless double beta decay, solar neutrinos, supernova neutrinos, and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. The photo-detector requirements for these experiments will be discussed, including ultraviolet photon detection efficiency (either direct sensitivity or with a wavelength-shifter), low radioactivity, and low noise rates to enable low thresholds. This talk will also feature the latest developments in photon-to-digital converter (PDC) technology, where signals from each photodiode are digitized in situ, and its proposed applications in future experiments.
